Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.

Clear Braces

Clear braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They
are most popular with adult patients due to their cosmetic appeal. The only
drawbacks to clear brackets are that they are more fragile, and the
elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.

Gold Braces

Gold braces are stainless steel braces coated with 24-karat
gold and are popular with patients of all ages.

Invisalign®

The Invisalign system is a series of clear overlay templates
called aligners that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually
move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain
orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the
Invisalign system.

Invisalign® Teen

Invisalign Teen is the ideal solution for teenagers wanting to
perfect their smile with confidence. This system uses a series of clear
removable aligners with a Blue Dot Wear Indicator crafted into them so
your teen knows how often to change them. Patients can still eat and
drink what they want and brush and floss normally. This revolutionary
system is designed specifically for teenagers and their busy
lifestyles.

ClearCorrect™

straighten your teeth without using traditional metal braces. The ClearCorrect
